General Information

Our museum is fully sponsored by the government with a staff of 11. We moved to new premises last year and we will rebuild it during the next few months with the plan to run a multicultural arena on museum basis. Main partners are other museums/cultural institutes and non-governmental associations of the kind of our field. Would like to co-operate with potential EUROMED partners.

Mission and Objectives

To collect and reserve the tangible and non-tangible material that belong to our scope with the intentions to arrange exhibitions of all kinds.
To develop our museum to a multicultural agora that is reflecting the past and connecting the present to the possible best future.
To serve as a research centre of the field we are responsible for.
To act as a mediator for the agents of business /trade and hospitality/ we are dedicated to.
